When I met Michael for the first time he was kind and positive toward me.

Even if he seemed to make fun of me a bit, I did not mind because I could tell he was just having fun with me and I could sense the genuine respect he had for me and was making a real effort to help me to improve myself, I also feel he intended to make a new friend at the same time.

Through out the many years I have known Michael, I noticed and admired the same healthy and inspiring attitude he had toward everyone I saw him with.

I know for certain he made many friends this way and I am sure he will be remembered by them all.

I know I will remember him as well.
